Two-bedroom first-floor flat, approx 58 sqm (624 sq ft)
A spacious two-bedroom first-floor flat in a traditional early-20th-century terrace, offering about 58 sqm (624 sq ft) of living space. The property has two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, a fully tiled bathroom with electric shower, and a private rear yard. Double glazing and gas central heating are in place; EPC rating is C and council tax band A keeps ongoing costs low.
This layout was originally three bedrooms and could be converted back, creating clear rental or family potential. Flats locally let for up to £700pcm depending on condition, making this attractive to first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-entry purchase with immediate letting potential.
Notable practical points: the flat is leasehold with approximately 957 years remaining and no known service charge or ground rent (to be confirmed by solicitors). From 1 October 2025 the property will require a selective landlord licence under Gateshead Council rules — purchasers who plan to let must factor in compliance steps and potential fees.
Be candid about the local context: the area is classed as very deprived with higher-than-average crime, and the neighbourhood is described as constrained. The building is solid-brick (likely without wall insulation) and shows some dated internal finishes, so buyers should allow budget for cosmetic upgrading or insulation improvements if needed. A short drive or walk gives access to schools, shops and good transport links.
